Blood
These are the most common leukocyte in our blood.
What are neutrophils?
What is the larynx?
This lymphoid tissue is considered to be MALT and is found in several regions of the oral and nasal cavities.
What are tonsils?
T-Lymphocytes travel to this lymphatic organ where thymopoietin and thymosin promote their maturation.
What is the thymus?
This technological innovation takes advantage of our bodies natural primary and secondary immune responses.
What are vaccinations?
The percentage of our blood that is made up of plasma.
What is 55%?
This molecule is carried in the blood and can affect blood pH.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
This function of the lymphatic system relies on the lacteals found in villi of the small intestine.
What is absorption of dietary fats?
This line of defense consists of cells and proteins that respond to any type of pathogen that gets past the surface barriers and gain entry to the body.
What is the second (line of defense)?
This disease is caused by a single amino acid substitution in hemoglobin molecules causes issues that reduce the amount of oxygen that hemoglobin can carry and how erythrocytes travel through the cardiovascular system.
What is sickle cell disease (anemia)?
This is a type of formed element (cell) in our blood that helps to fight off parasitic worms.
What are eosinophils?
This muscle is the main muscle used in inspiration.
What is the diaphragm?
These structures in lymph vessels keep gravity from exerting a lot of effect on the flow of lymph.
What are valves?
This inflammatory mediator is secreted by basophils and mast cells and can trigger vasodilation of arterioles that leads to the 4 signs of inflammation (redness, swelling, pair, and heat).
What is histamine?
This type of cell is not fully differentiated and can make any type of blood cell.
What is a hematopoietic stem cell?
This is the final clotting protein in the coagulation process and becomes part of the clot.
What is fibrin?
In order to do an expiration, this pressure must be higher than atmospheric pressure.
What is intrapulmonary pressure?
This portion of the spleen contains leukocytes and filters pathogens from the blood.
What is white pulp?
Antibodies are secreted by this specific type of immune cell.
What are plasma (B-lymphocytes) cells?
The activation of this group of proteins, which are considered to be part of the second line of defense, can lead to the lysis of bacterial cells.
What is complement?
This molecule is found in erythrocytes and can attach 4 oxygen molecules to it.
What is hemoglobin?
This Law states that each gas in a mixture exerts its own pressure and the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of its gases.
What is Dalton's Law (of partial pressures)?
This lymphatic duct drains all of the lymph from the lower portion and left side of the upper portion of the body.
What is the Thoracic Duct?
This type of immune cell has CD4 MHC molecules in it's membranes and after activated by antigen-presenting cells, will secrete cytokines to activate other portions of the adaptive immune response.
What are helper T-cells?
This pulmonary volume is defined by the following equation: Tidal volume (TV) + Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) + Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and reflects the total amount of exchangeable air in the lungs.
What is Vital Capacity?
